A petition has been filed in the Delhi High Court questioning the functioning of online pathology labs in the national capital. The petition alleges that the blood samples being collected of people through the online pathology system are putting their lives at risk as there is no authenticity of the lab and people who come to collect the samples.
The petition says that the online pathology labs are collecting samples without the approval of any authority and without any verification of the educational qualifications of people involved in the work.
The PIL demanded the court to hear the matter on an urgent basis and it holds large public interest. The high court will hear the case tomorrow (August 5).
Through the system of online pathology, people can get their blood samples collected at home by booking online as per their availability.
